Bone density is a measurement of the mineral density in your bones. It is used to determine a person's risk for osteoporosis.
Humans and possibly a few other primates are the only animals that get a rash from poison ivy. Your dog and cat donât get it, nor do birds, deer, squirrels, snakes and insects. However, be sure to wash your dog after a walk near poison ivy because the urushiol can be carried on dogsâ fur and transferred to you!
All of these plants contain urushiol, a toxin that causes an allergic reaction in many adults and children. Approximately 85% of the population will develop an allergic reaction if exposed to poison ivy, oak or sumac, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
